Fusion Garage JooJoo Tablet Hands-On - Fusion garage joojoo - Gizmodo - http://gizmodo.com/5421614/#

"From the webcast yesterday, the JooJoo (previously named Crunchpad) seemed flimsy and barely working. But now that we spent a good deal of hands on time with it, we can say that Fusion Garage executed an internet tablet quite well."

Missed the live broadcast today so I have to wait until Leo releases the podcast, but is this going to be another Google love fest? Don't get me wrong, I love TWIG, but TWIG is wearing thin with me. Leo does a much better job with Windows Weekly and Mac Break Weekly. More balanced. For example, Paul Thourott loves Microsoft but at least he's honest about MS's shortcomings and isn't afraid of saying so.

Drobo S now comes with eSATA, DroboElite with two Gigabit ports - http://holgr.com/blog...

Raoul Pop liked this
"Today Data Robotics presented a new device that power users always wanted from the Drobo: a really fast interface to connect the external storage to your workstation. I’m speaking about eSATA which makes the new Drobo S much faster. These higher speeds, that also apply to the Firewire 800 and to a negligible degree to the USB 2.0 interface, also come – according to Data Robotics’ Director of Product Marketing Jim Sherhart – as part of a new processing unit and upgraded memory. The company says the data rates should tick in at about 80 MByte/s for eSATA and 60 MByte/s for Firewire 800 respectively. The Drobo S now also has a 5th hard drive slot. How these speeds will apply to the real world is something only benchmarks will be able to tell."

Nikons pro DSLRs outsell Canon’s big time - http://nikonrumors.com/2009...
"This chart was shown at the official NikonD3s launch event in Beijing – you can see the Nikon logo at the top right corner. Nikons pro DSLRs outsell Canons big time.

Large Hadron Collider ready to restart - Or is it? :) - http://www.boston.com/bigpict...

"The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) says it expects to restart the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) by this weekend after more than a year of repairs. The 27 km (17 mi) particle accelerator was launched last year, but suffered a failure from a faulty electrical connection, damaging 53 of the smasher's 9,300 superconducting magnets. Repairs are now completed, and the plan is to begin injecting protons into the LHC this weekend, on the path to search for particles such as predicted-yet-unobserved Higgs Boson. Collected below are some photographs of the repairs, and of the LHC and some of its experiments in various stages of construction."

There's a centralized App Store, like iTunes, for Android http://www.android.com/market/ And the Maps in Android 2.0 support turn-by-turn navigation...
- Holger Eilhard
Haggis, OK.
- Kol Tregaskes
Holger, sounds good but I'm, I don't tend to buy apps.
- Kol Tregaskes
Kol, I thought the same prior to the iPhone - when I still had my Nokias or Sony Ericssons... One reason: I didn't want to go through the hassle of finding apps.
- Holger Eilhard
Yeah so if I need to buy apps then I'm sticking with the Nokia. I don't really have the time and more importantly the regular money for that. I've got all the apps (apart from the decent MP3 player) that I need on my Nokia. I just need a Nokia that isn't so buggy, hence this: http://ff.im/buGQk
- Kol Tregaskes
I've only paid for one app on the Android Market, and it was $1. The rest have all been free, including the mods. Don't judge the Android until you've tried one for yourself. In my opinion there are two reigning champions of the SmartPhone line: The DROID and the iPhone. Everything else is a wanna-be.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
The Droid is a SmartPhone, the iPhone is just an iPod Touch with a crappy Phone.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Mark: so, what's your definition of smartphone?
- Holger Eilhard
Mark - You're missing one important point about the iPhone vs. the iPod Touch: The iPhone has an always-on connection to the net wherever there's a cell signal. The iPod Touch is completely dependent on WiFi hotspots. The iPod Touch is useless (with the exception of games/music) when I'm not around a wireless signal. The iPhone still allows me to check/send e-mail, surf the Web, etc.

Kol you need to set your digital recorder device you missed the Gillmor gang. Check this one out, it's all about your question & the Android vs iPhone. it gets into some interest stuff "Fwd: Gillmor Gang 11.12.09 http://ff.im/bt54U"

I think I'm in love. The Olympus EP-1 is almost erotically beautiful. I can't stop handling it. Can't wait to get the 50/1.4 on it. Too bad nothing reads the raw files yet.

Why does each new camera need a new RAW format requiring a 'driver update' ?
- Don Strickland
Geez. Kind of a problem if nothing reads RAW. Can't imagine shooting any other way.
- Karoli
No bundled app that can handle the RAW files? So you can at least have them for storage and go from there until ACR, etc. handle Olympus' RAW format...
- Holger Eilhard
It is a very good-looking camera.

Here's the thread in the LR forums about EP-1 support: http://forums.adobe.com/message...
- Holger Eilhard
The bundled app handles the ORF files, of course, but I really need Lightroom.
- Leo Laporte
I understand that, using LR myself! :-) I'm just suggesting that you could still shoot RAW and let the bundled app take care of the conversion to JPEG until Adobe/Apple are ready. Then you still have the RAW files to play with, not just JPEGs that came from the camera.
- Holger Eilhard
Okay but can I have the Canon 5D Mark II then :-)
- Richard Bitting
Exactly what I'm doing - and shooting RAW+JPEG. Still an awesome camera. (Keeping the 5D though!)

Hope other manufacturers get a clue that we little rangefinder like cameras with interchangeable lenses.

I won't give up my Nikon any time soon but that surely is a beautiful- and traditional-looking camera.

Sorry, Leo. Yes, it looks very cool, but I am not aroused by looking at a camera.

Incidentally - NO rangefinder. You have to use the LCD. One real negative.

I'll shoot some more dynamic video later. Saves as a Motion JPEG AVI file.
- Leo Laporte
How long can the videos be?
- tomit
2GB (that's an AVI limitation) so HD: 7min, SD: 14min
- Leo Laporte
Ouch thats short!
- Bryan Lee
Hmmm... Guess you can do multi shots with a large card and put them together. I think most videos I've done were made up of clips shorter than that.
- tomit
Leo, there is an accessory VIEWfinder that attaches to the hotshoe. Not the same as a rangefinder but I wouldn't trade the EP-1's physical size for the optics necessary for a rangefinder. Very lustworthy bit of kit!
- Antonio Yon
It's definitely pretty sweet hardware. Rumor going around that 2nd version will be out end of year with a VF. Seems rather quick to me but possibly something to wait for. The current VF that attaches to the hotshoe is only accurate with their 17mm f/2.8 lens btw.
- ronin
I may pull the trigger on an EP-1, but I am hearing horror stories about the slow auto focus. Are you finding this a problem? Should I wait till version 2?

The specs for the E-P2 are out. What do you think? Are the improvements worth the extra $300? Luckily, the announcement came out the day was going to purchase the E-P1. Close call.
- Robert Eden
The E-P2 at least has a viewfinder - I think that alone would make it much superior.
- Brian Sullivan
I want to use one next to a Panasonic GF1 to see which I like better.

Curious if Leo thinks the upgrade to the E-P2 is worth the extra cash!

NVIDIA vs ATI - which graphics card would you buy and why?
Darth Farhad Sama, Demetrios the Traveller, Mark Douglass and 16 other people liked this
I'm on the look out for a new gfx card for about £150. Any recommendations? :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I used to buy ATI cause they were trying harder but in the last 2 years I slowly switched to nvidia as they a)use less power (I'm into silent cards!) b)gave me less problems on windows (had weird issues with playing games in a window with any kind of transparency effects with the ATI cards I ad) and c) slightly stabler linux drivers recently - not sure if the latest cards follow the pattern but certainly seems the case on the power consumption (and therefore cooling fan noise) front
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
I'm looking at the GTX260 atm. I can get a 896Mb card for £147 but can get a 1792Mb card for £155. Will it make a big difference?
- Kol Tregaskes
Nvidia :) Kol, when is your BD btw?
- Sasha Kovaliov(.com)
BD? Board? Gosh, can't remember, will have to have a look. I currently use a NVIDIA 8800 GTS card but it's knackered.
- Kol Tregaskes
I guess BD=Birthday?
- Holger Eilhard
Birthday ;) My ATI sux - I even can't run Guitar Hero - and it has 512MBs of memory.
- Sasha Kovaliov(.com)
Every few years I jump from one camp to the other. I just recently made the jump off from Nvidia to ATI and, holy crap, I'm glad that I did. The ATI is way better in all ways than my previous Nvidia. And I'm not just talking about pure framerate. Color reproduction and quality mean a lot to me, as well.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Akiva, what model you have?

I'm always bad in that :( All my friends call me to remind that their bds are coming :D So, do you plan to play on ultra-high quality?

- Farshad
Sasha, 4870 Mac Edition.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Maybe they are good on Macs - my intel based sux :( I wonder, can sound card break everything up?
- Sasha Kovaliov(.com)
Yes, it certainly can. In fact, more issues are usually due to the sound card than just about any other device in a system. This is why usually one of the first debugging steps is to remove or disable the sound card to see if it fixes whatever the issue is. And Macs are Intel-based.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Akiva, so if I'm with a notebook I'm stuck to whatever is inside? Or I can try FireWire soundcards?
- Sasha Kovaliov(.com)
Well, first, make sure you have the latest drivers for your sound card (heck, for ALL of your peripherals). If it's still causing a problem, it could be a hardware issue and, in that case, an external sound device may be your only choice. One of the downfalls of laptops, sadly.
- Akiva Moskovitz
It depends on what kinda work u wanna do. I have heared from a large number of people that Nvidia works better with games (as u might have noticed, they usually mention the system requirement for a game by the type of Nvidia Graphics u use, not the Ati). And by the way I think a GF 9800 (512Mb) might be the best choice nowadays.

Xbox yes but after a gfx upgrade so I can play FPS and strategy games on the PC. I can't play them on a console, those need a mouse. :-)

The ATI HD 4870 looks like a far better deal though, more RAM, faster core and cheaper.
- Kol Tregaskes
ATI. And especially now that 5870 (or greater) are out. EyeFinity is cool (triple display support at minimum) and there shouldn't be problems with performance, either.

Sasha, I think you mean Diablo 3 - and don't expect it before 2011. Starcraft 2 (I think) is a way off too.
- Kol Tregaskes
Yep, 3 ;) Fine, recommend me some FireWire soundcards then :) I think Starcraft should come out pretty soon, with all these almost ready battlefield reports.

Interesting image. I always buy nVidia
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
I've always been an NVidia fan, personally. ATi cards have tempted my in the past (like the Radeon 9800), but NVidia has typically had faster cards for less money.
- Jason Huebel
Interestingly, this article: http://techgage.com/article... says the NVIDIA is faster.
- Kol Tregaskes
Nvidia often sacrifices overall quality for speed. For game-rig junkies, speed is all that really matters.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I see, Akiva. To an extent yes but I like to have quality too if I can. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I know that, historically, Nvidia generally has much better driver support on Linux, so that has always been a big reason for me to use their cards over ATI. I'm not sure if you're even remotely considering using Linux on the machine or not, but you'd be better served to get an Nvidia card if you are. ATI support has been getting better, but it's still not on par with the Nvidia support.
- Curtiss Grymala
Curtiss makes an excellent point, too.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I use Nvida, it's just always been recommended to me as being better & now Mac's are being packaged with them. But I honestly don't know the technicalities behind all that jazz, whenever I ask at the store, they always respond well it depends are you using it for gaming (& what type of gaming), photo or video editing, as media centre, and wank wank wank
- sofarsoShawn
At a price point only the ATI Radeon HD 4890 is perhaps a better comparison to the 260 but that ATI card is generally compared to the 275 card. Hmmm....
- Kol Tregaskes
NVIDIA
- Opium
ATI for sure
- Arman
If you use OpenGL at all, NVIDIA beats ATI. Most Windows games use DirectX, but I use Second Life, which is OpenGL-based. Also had fits with the video when upgrading my Linux box to the latest Ubuntu, but that's because it's an ancient ATI 7000, no longer supported by their binary driver.
- Kevin Shaum
with dx11 and windows 7 around! I will go for ATI! probably 5770 would be a great choice

You will be able to do that for an additional $30 with an additional 5GB available. It's ludicrously expensive, but at least you can do it. (I'm looking at you, iPhone.)

Eric: "I'm looking at you, iPhone." or rather "I'm looking at you, AT&T."?
